Answer 1

To calculate Jan Quint's earnings for the week, we need to consider her regular hours, overtime, and holiday pay.

1. Regular Pay:

   • Regular hours: 40 hours
   • Hourly rate: $11.00
   • Regular pay = Regular hours × Hourly rate
   • Regular pay = 40 hours × $11.00 = $440.00

2. Overtime Pay:

   • Overtime hours: 9 hours
   • Overtime rate (time-and-a-half): $11.00 × 1.5 = $16.50
   • Overtime pay = Overtime hours × Overtime rate
   • Overtime pay = 9 hours × $16.50 = $148.50

3. Holiday Pay:

   • Holiday hours: 12 hours
   • Holiday rate (double time): $11.00 × 2 = $22.00
   • Holiday pay = Holiday hours × Holiday rate
   • Holiday pay = 12 hours × $22.00 = $264.00

4. Total Earnings:

   • Total earnings = Regular Pay + Overtime Pay + Holiday Pay
   • Total earnings = $440.00 + $148.50 + $264.00 = $852.50

Therefore, Jan Quint earned $852.50 last week. The correct answer is D) $852.50.
